The American Friends of Museums in Israel represents and raises funds for eight museums located throughout Israel: Design Museum Holon, Haifa City Museum, Haifa Museum of Art, Hermann Struck Museum, Mané-Katz Museum, National Maritime Museum, Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art, and the Tower of David Jerusalem Museum.

Our partner museums are committed to enriching the cultural lives of the citizens of Israel from all socio-economic groups and populations as well as visitors from all over the world. The museums’ staff steadfastly continue their work despite these extraordinarily challenging times.  

In addition to creating outstanding exhibitions, our partner museums' education departments have developed innovative art education programming for children and adults with the hope that bringing disparate groups together through the language of art will promote peace and understanding.

Thank you to the many artists, galleries, and donors who have graciously supported the American Friends of Museums in Israel.  

Please note there is no sales tax on any lots purchased in the American Friends of Museums in Israel’s benefit auction. Each work ships from a different location, as noted on the individual lot page. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer and will be determined on an individual basis.

Bidding on the American Friends of Museums in Israel’s auction opens exclusively on Artsy on May 22 at 12pm EDT and will begin to close on June 5 at 12pm EDT.
